Longing For the Beloved One

Guru Dev Swami VishwanandaThe Saints know about the pain of Mystical Love. Their hearts pain to be with the Divine; they cry for it.

Love is not always hurting; love can be joyful also! There is a mystical joy, a mystical form of love that you may also discover in pain. This pain is not a pain like one saying, “Oh, I’m having pain.” For example, like someone saying, “Yesterday I went to a certain place and I hit myself and now I have pain.” The mystical kind of love is not a physical pain and it’s not an emotional pain that you create with your mind like saying, “Yes, I am in pain today.” Mystical Love is painfully intense [bittersweet].

Read the life of St. Francis. Do you know how much he was crying always? But even Mystical Love is not always that intense. We are speaking now about the pain of love, but St. Francis also had great joy. This sensitivity [the longing for the Divine] can also manifest itself as being painful. It is not really painful in the normal sense that we know pain to be, rather it is an intense Mystical Love, a longing for the Beloved One.Note: Dear Readers of VBV Blog - Utpalavati, author-moderator of VBV has been invited to contribute to another one of the Swami Vishwananda Blogs, Vishwananda Teachings.

Thank you for this text which is giving me an answer of my feelings and tears. Often I was praying for this answer.Since I was a child I love St. Francis a lot and I feel very connected with him and his prayers.

Jai Guru Dev: To the one who posted the first comment above: Our purpose for this blog is to serve Swami Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji. When a reader, a devotee of Swamiji and Mahavatar is touched or inspired, we know we are fullfilling our purpose. Thank You for writing.

QUOTES

Swami Vishwananda:"If you fill your heart with love for God and can attune yourself to the Divine, you will acquire true knowledge that is not found in books and theory.

"My mission is to spread Divine love. The main base of my mission is to open up the hearts of people. You see, the word 'Love' itself has so many meanings nowadays, that people have forgotten the true aspect of Love, the Unconditional Love. And Unconditional Love is what will change the world; all the other forms of Love have expectations. But when one feels this real Love inside one’s heart, it’s beyond all expectations. And only with this Love can peace be restored."Mahavatar Kriya Babaji:"When one realizes his unity with mankind, all minds become transmitting stations through which he can work at will (as Babaji stated to Lahiri Mahasaya in Paramahansa Yogananda's "Autobiography Of A Yogi"). Mankind identifies me as the Immortal Mahavatar Kriya Babaji of the majestic Himalayas, the sacred mountains of India that stand as eternal sentinels of Love, Devotion, Trust and the everlasting Divine Will of Unity. My offer of spiritual assistance is eternally vigilant, even as the qreat Himalayan Mountains have stood throughout time as spiritual sentinelsfor mankind.

Note to Readers from Utpalavati (author of blog):Some have asked if Swami Vishwananda has blessed the writing of Mahavatar Babaji and the contents on this blog. My response: Parmahansa Yogananda taught: "It is important to create attunement with the Guru. Aim to please God and Guru at all times." What Yogananda taught is my intention of this blog. I aim to please God and Guru at all times: my Satguru Sri Swami Vishwananda and my Param Guru, the Guru of one's own Guru, Mahavatar Babaji. For the times I fall short of that goal, I pray, and have asked my Guru to correct me. When I began this blog in July 2009, at the suggestion of (Pritala) Swami Vishwavijananda, Sri Swami Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji gave their blessings. Swami said he "trusted" me. Recently, (On August 14, 2010 when I was having some small doubt about something Babaji had written about Atma Kriya) I asked Swami Vishwananda if my writing for Babaji, through his Imprinting Method of communication on this blog is aligned with him and his teachings--and am I hearing Babaji clearly? Swami gave this blessing. . .

"Dear Mataji. . .I told you as before, don't doubt. Listen and write as you do is good. You are an instrument of our love and grace. . . sv"

I pray this explanation answers the questions some have asked. -Utpalavati

Mahavatar Babaji American English Edition

Imprinting Technique of Mahavatar Babaji:

Mahavatar Babaji is an Immortal, Divine Being. Although he may appear seemingly physical, this happens rarely, and to his own choice of people when He wishes. Existing beyond the range of human eye and ear perception unless he wills it, how do people hear Babaji? Mahavatar Babaji communicated to the venerated Indian saint, Lahiri Mahasaya:

"When one realizes his unity with mankind, all minds become transmitting stations through which he can work at will. -Mahavatar Babaji

Mahavatar Babaji and I, literally, are together like two people talking, with the exception that we are in a higher vibration. This is not "channeling" as in contemporary usage of the word. Babaji says he transmits English language words into my brain waves through his Imprinting Technique, as He explained to Lahiri Mahasaya.
